Cold dawn (Explore 11-12-2020)

            Recently I went for a cold (very) early morning walk amongst the Ashford Hangers, near Steep in the wonderful county of Hampshire. I hadn't done this particular walk before, and before long I was wondering if I had bitten off more than was physically good for me ! 

A serious climb took me up onto the viewpoint at Shoulder of Mutton hill and from there I was plunged into an ethereal landscape of freezing fog. I knew that the views surrounding me were spectacular, I just couldn't see any of them. 

Nevertheless, up on top of the Hanger, exploring along Old Litten Lane, towards Cobbetts View, I was astounded by the beauty of the area.

The area is known as "Little Switzerland", due to the rise and fall of the landscape and its silhouette on the skyline. Now I know why. 

The Hampshire Hangers are part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area is dense in Beech, Lime and old Ash woodland.

The name 'hanger' comes from the Old English 'hangra' meaning a wooded slope.
